MIDDLETOWN >> A city couple were arrested earlier this month after a physical assault involving a razor and candlewax, according to Middletown police.

On July 6, Ivan Hernandez Jr., 28, of Burgundy Hill Lane, had called 911 after his girlfriend Erica Moreno, 28, of Burgundy Hill Lane had allegedly attacked him and he was forced to restrain her.

Moreno eventually told police Hernandez had choked her for no reason, the report indicates, when she wouldn’t get out of bed and then ordered her to get up.

Moreno then reportedly insulted him with vulgarities and said Hernandez “flipped out” and choked her.

While Moreno had no injuries on her neck, officers report, she had dried candlewax on her chest and fresh cuts to her hand, which she attributed to Hernandez pushing her away from him while he was shaving.

The report says when asked about the candlewax, she stopped talking, made a phone call in Spanish and ignored officers.

“I don’t want to get him in trouble,” Moreno allegedly told police.

Hernandez provided his account in which he agreed to pick her up at 11 p.m. the day before.

Moreno reportedly refused to sleep or let Hernandez sleep and “bounced around and yelled,” and at 3 a.m., he asked her to leave while her response was to use his razor to cut his hand, so he took it and flushed it down the toilet.

She cried for an hour, Hernandez said in a sworn statement, and he didn’t alert authorities because he intended to drop her off in the morning and “never speak to her again.”

At 6:20 a.m., the arraignment says, he woke her up to drive her home when she became enraged and tried to “stick” him with a burning candle.

She was charged with disorderly conduct and held on a $10,000 bond, while Hernandez was given a summons for the same and both were given a July 6 court date.
